      Cant help on the post, lets face it, you posted this one;):snorky:

      As to begonia corms I used to plant with the hollow side up, and not covered, once growth was a couple of inches high I'd then completely cover the corm, just helps to stop rotting off in the early stages.:)

            Try clicking on the post again, sometimes they kind of hang, in a kind of fussy state, if you click on it again it often comes back to clear dark lettering.
            You can then at that stage click on the "post" button.

              I've not been on the forum for a while but I wanted to post a question. I can't see anything like "new thread". I've been able to log in OK.

              You have to go to the category you want to post in e.g. 'General garden discussion' or 'cacti and succulents' etc, then you'll see on the top right 'Post New Thread'
              If you click on that you'll be able to ask your question in the correct category.
